Hello,
I've posted this in the HA Forums too but hoping someone here might be able to help too
I am stuck setting up MySensors and if anyone could help me I would be very grateful. I am completely new to Arduino's and the syntax (and I'm not a programmer anyway!) so I am aware I'm on a steep learning curve here!
I have followed the tutorials to set up an Ethernet Gateway and a basic motion sensor. I then assigned static ID's to these as at this point I wasn't using a controller and I could get the two to talk successfully. I used the serial monitor to check both devices and when I wave my hand in front of the sensor I get the following:
Sensor:
42401 MCO:SLP:WUP=1
42403 TSF:TRI:TSB
1
42414 TSF:MSG:SEND,1-1-0-0,s=1,c=1,t=16,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:1
42420 MCO:SLP:MS=120000,SMS=0,I1=1,M1=1,I2=255,M2=255
42425 TSF:TDI:TSL
42427 MCO:SLP:WUP=1
42429 TSF:TRI:TSB
0
42439 TSF:MSG:SEND,1-1-0-0,s=1,c=1,t=16,pt=0,l=1,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:0
42445 MCO:SLP:MS=120000,SMS=0,I1=1,M1=1,I2=255,M2=255
42450 TSF:TDI:TSL
Gateway:
18749588 TSF:MSG:READ,1-1-0,s=1,c=1,t=16,pt=0,l=1,sg=0:1
18752809 TSF:MSG:READ,1-1-0,s=1,c=1,t=16,pt=0,l=1,sg=0:0
If I've misinterpreted this then please let me know, but it appears to me that the 1 (motion) and 0 (reset) on both devices almost simultaneously would suggest that they are communicating.
I also set up a repeater and had communication between these, and could even pass the sensor data through it (we have thick walls so I took the sensor out of range and put the repeater in the middle).
At this point I was thinking, this is all pretty easy, just need to hook it up to HA and I'll be away! However, I cannot get it to work. My understanding is that the controller - HA in this case - hands out the ID's to the nodes and therefore I don't want to define these in the sketch. I believe I am also right in saying that the gateway always has an ID of 0.
I added the following to my HA configuration.yaml
mysensors:
gateways:
- device: '192.168.86.19'
version: '2.3.2'
I restarted HA, and it appeared to be communicating as I was getting the following in the serial monitor for the gateway:

Again, please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is telling me that the gateway and HA are communicating?
The issue, and where I am currently stuck is that my sensor won't connect to the gateway. I have cleared the EEPROM from the board (using the MySensors clear eeprom sketch) and removed the ID from the sketch before uploading it again. I've done the same on the repeater and switched the boards for brand new ones but get the same issue each time.

This just loops with the count incrementing by one each time. There is nothing on the gateway serial monitor beyond the messages in the log above. It doesn't even seem to be aware anything is trying to communicate with it.
I have looked through the Debug info on the MySensors website and I think I have an understanding of what is happening based on the values for s,c,t. (I'm assuming s=255 is like a broadcast message rather than a defined value for the sensor). The line TSF:MSG:SEND,255-255-255-255,s=255,c=3,t=7,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK is the sensor looking for the gateway and the next line !TSM:FPAR:NO REPLY is saying there is no response.
I'm sure I have missed something blindingly obvious but no amount of reading or research has helped me, so I'd be very grateful if someone could point a newbie in the right direction!
